139 Tehama Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The three-unit, 2-story tenement building at 139 Tehama Street in Kensington, owned by Guo Fen Yang, was constructed in 1920 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2020-2021, there were multiple concerning incidents related to mold and improper ventilation, particularly affecting apartment 2L on the second floor, which exhibited visible mold problems on both the north wall and window frame areas.
The building experienced a period of construction-related disturbances in April 2021, with complaints about lead dust and indoor air quality issues, though some of these complaints were later closed or consolidated with existing reports. More recently, between 2022 and 2024, the building has had several Class A violations regarding safety notices that remain open, including requirements for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector postings, and a notice about gas leak procedures.
While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements through 2024, showing no reported infestations in the past two annual periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), there was a previous pattern of bedbug violation notices in 2020-2021, suggesting historical pest management challenges. Most concerning is the presence of open violations as of 2022-2023 related to safety requirements, and a significant mold violation from 2020 that was upgraded to Class B status in 2022, indicating a need for urgent remediation.
